75 lyrics - Aaron Lewis
I'm starting to hate
All these cigarettes and this loneliness
And I'm starting to fade
Like the lines on route 143
Sometimes I feel like I might wanna get off this ride
As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75
And this highway ain't no place for home-loving drifters like me
All these hotels and bars
Rides in stretched cars
Ain't for me
I'm tired of missing
The moments I'll never get back
And I'm tired of missing
The smiles on my little girl's face
Sometimes I feel like I might wanna get off this ride
As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75
And this highway ain't no place for home-loving drifters like me
All these hotels and bars
Rides in stretched cars
Ain't for me
And this highway ain't no place for home-loving drifters like me
All these hotels and bars
Rides in stretched cars
Ain't for me
So, sometimes I feel like I might wanna get off this ride
As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75
As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75
The Road lyrics - Aaron Lewis
There's a thousand miles and eighteen hours
I got to double drive down southbound 35
I got the hammer down, Detroit made
525 pushin' my ass right down that line
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road
I got a full grown creepin' up on my tail
And I won't make bail in this small time jail, no, not 'round here
I got the bird dog on, radio cranked
Gear jammin', lane changin' son of a bitch, you bet ya, son
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road
Just left the jail with a hand full of pills
And I won't quit till I hit the coop in Abilene
I'm almost there there's just a few more miles
I'll make the drop and I'll turn and burn, I'm out o' here
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road
And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel
Just tells me that I'm back out on the road
Endless Summer lyrics - Aaron Lewis
In the mornin' on a Saturday, I got my girls and we're skippin' town
In my '67 442 got the rag top down
Aldean's on the radio, ain't it funny how they sing along
Makes you smile just a little bit because it's not a Miley Cyrus song
These are the moments we can share
Come on let me take you there
Loadin' up and livin' right
Fast cars on a summer night
Breeze is warm and the moon is bright
This endless summer
Boogie boards and diggin' holes
Sand castles and the fishin' poles
What a way to save my soul
This endless summer
Now we're at our little getaway, Zoe go and grab the fishin' poles
I can't think of any better way for us to cleanse our souls
Fresh striper on the grill tonight, cherrystones straight out the shell
Just another day in paradise, another story I can tell
These are the moments we can share
Come on let me take you there
Loadin' up and livin' right
Fast cars on a summer night
Breeze is warm and the moon is bright
This endless summer
Boogie boards and diggin' holes
Sand castles and the fishin' poles
What a way to save our souls
This endless summer
Monday mornin' and it's gettin' late
There's no traffic at the tollbooth line
Aldean's on the radio
And my three girls know every line
And these are the moments we can share
Come on let me take you there
Loadin' up and livin' right
Fast cars on a summer night
Breeze is warm and the music's right
This endless summer
Boogie boards and diggin' holes
Sand castles and fishin' poles
What a way to save our souls
This endless summer night
Red, White & Blue lyrics - Aaron Lewis
My grandmama worked on a factory floor
Sewing leather for minimum wage
While my granddaddy worked all the beer joints in town
Tryin' to forget the memories he made
Because when daddy was born in 1945
We'd been fightin' for what we believed
Along with five other brothers, who stood by his side
They were ready, they willing to bleed
Red, white and blue
Those colors mean something, those colors stay true
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
My daddy grew up, on the wrong side of poor
Rubbin' nickels together for heat
Well, he and his sister had barely got by
With the clothes and the shoes on their feet
So he joined the service, when he was eighteen
Like his daddy and his uncles before
He was ready to die, for what he believed
To fight for, what's worth fightin' for
Red, white and blue
Those colors mean something, those colors stay true
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
Well me and my sisters, got kids of our own
And my brother's coming up on sixteen
And my daddy taught us all, how to live off the land
And how to stand up for what we believe
Red, white and blue
Those colors mean something, those colors stay true
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
Like my family before me, I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue
Lessons Learned lyrics - Aaron Lewis
I've walked a mile in the shoes of a broken man
I've fallen down a thousand times and got up again
There's times I've talked to God likes he's my only friend
There's times it seems the devil's tryin' to take me by the hand
'Cause in life, sometimes
You gotta slow it down a little bit
Take time, rewind
Appreciate the little things that life provides to you
I've borrowed pages from the life of Johnny Cash
I've tried to find the answer in a whiskey glass
I've done a lot of things back in my shady past
And I've sat on that old metal bed, just livin' way too fast
'Cause in life, you'll find
You gotta slow it down a little bit
Take time, rewind
Appreciate the little things that life provides to you
And these pictures runnin' through my head
As I sat there on that cold metal bed
And wondered
How I wound up here again
Because in life, you'll find
You gotta slow it down a little bit
Take time, rewind
Appreciate the little things that life provides to you
Forever lyrics - Aaron Lewis
Another cheap high rise hotel room
Another place, another show
Another meaningless destination
With nowhere to go
Another time to say "I love you"
Another time to say "goodnight"
Another time to hear a dial tone
'Cause no one wants to fight, why should we fight
'Cause I can see it in your eyes
Is the sparkle gone forever, don't say forever
And I can feel it when we touch
Is the fire out forever, don't say forever
Another time to miss a birthday
Another time to miss my flight
I've missed so much that I don't know what I have
And what I thought I might, what I might, 'cause
I can see it in your eyes
Is the sparkle gone forever, don't say forever
And I can feel it when we touch, is the fire out forever
Don't say forever
Now I'm lyin' beside you
A stranger in your arms
We drift apart together
And come back like a storm, like a storm
Another show up in Decatur
Another one in San Antone
Somewhere else in this equator
Takes me far away from home, I'm comin' home, cause
I can see it in your eyes
The sparkle shines forever, this is forever
And I can feel it when we touch
The fire burns forever, this is forever
Granddaddy's Gun lyrics - Aaron Lewis
It sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails
It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale
The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell
My granddaddy's gun
Well he bought it new out of the Sears-Roebuck catalog
And it shot a many shells over the back of an old bird dog
It backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off
Granddaddy's gun
It's just an old double barrel twelve
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one
I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her
Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
My granddaddy's gun
He handed it to me on the day I turned thirteen
With a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean
I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me
Granddaddy's gun
It's just an old double barrel twelve
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one
I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her
Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
One of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
My granddaddy's gun
There's a long beard hangin' on my livin' room wall
That I got with a box call
And, grandaddy's gun
And there's a shot up sign out there on 49
That me and Billy Joe shot up one night
With, granddaddy's gun
Well it sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails
It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale
State Lines lyrics - Aaron Lewis
Well, I just left out of Corpus
And I'm headed into Nashville for the day
I left my mark on Music Row
Now back out on the road, more shows to play
I've worn the tires off this bus ten times
I've carried contraband across state lines
An' I've played concert halls and holes in walls
And places that a show just shouldn't be
And there's stadiums and late night shows
On every major network on TV
And I've worn the tires off this bus ten times
I've carried contraband across state lines
Well, I just left West Virginia
One more in Wabash and then I'm comin' home
I can take this guitar off my back
And hang up these ol' boots because I'm done
And I've worn the tires off this bus ten times
I've carried contraband across state lines
An' I've followed yellow lines till I can't see
I'll never know where this road's takin' me
Anywhere But Here lyrics - Aaron Lewis
This road is going nowhere
And these, these shoes are worn too thin
There's always should-haves where I'm going
There's always could-haves where I've been.
And all the things that I've said
And the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing
And the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear
I wish I was anywhere but here.
There's always footsteps from behind me
Why don't they ever read the writing on the wall
And all the time I've spent rewinding
It might mean nothing, it might mean nothing at all
And all the things that I've said
And the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing
And the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear
I wish I was anywhere but here.
The bed next to me is empty
Just like the, the shell I'm still trying to fill
The things put in life to tempt me
They won't ever, they might break my will
And all the things that I've said
And the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing
And the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear
I wish I was anywhere but here. Wish I was anywhere but here.
Party In Hell lyrics - Aaron Lewis
I've been hard up, tore down, the things I've been through
And the angels won't take me away
And I've talked to Saint Peter, he won't let me pass
So it looks like I'm goin' today
So let's have a party and tell 'em I'm home
There'll be Waylon and Whitley as well
And the devil will be dealing, the cards as they lay
So let's have a party in hell
Washed up, worn out, and down on my knees
But the angels won't take me away
The bartender only serves brown liquor in hell
And that sure sounds like heaven to me
So let's have a party and tell 'em I'm home
There'll be Janice and Jimi as well
And Rick James will bring all the cocaine you want
So let's have a party in hell
So let's have a party and tell 'em we're home
They'll be No Show and Junior and Merle
And Jamie Johnson'll be drinking from a brown paper bag
So let's have a party in hell
The Story Never Ends lyrics - Aaron Lewis
Another two months on the road
Just two more miles I'll be home to what I know
Where things move a little slower
And people always wave goodbye and say hello
And the maples on this road they must be three hundred years old
Just imagine all the stories they could tell
Of the tractors and the cars
All comin' home from Liston's bar
And the country folk just out to raise some hell
To raise some hell
This is my home
This is where I belong
Where my daughters go to school
Where opinions are strong
Where my neighbors are my friends
And the story never ends
So I just hit the ground and keep on runnin'
All of yesterday has come and gone
And so you try to pick up all the pieces
Put it all back the way that it belongs
Well the next thing that you know
It's time to play another show
I'm leavin' out of here just after dawn
Ain't it good to know that no matter where you go
That this town has got your back when you are gone
When you are gone
And this is my home
This is where I belong
Where my daughters go to school
Where opinions are strong
And my amendment rights
They keep me safe at night
Where my neighbors are my friends
And the story never ends
This is my home
This is where I belong
Where my daughters go to school
Where opinions are strong
Where my amendment rights
Keep me safe at night
Where my neighbors are my friends
And the story never ends
And the story never ends
Another two months on the road
Just two more miles I'll be home
To what I know
Vicious Circles lyrics - Aaron Lewis
If I could walk on water
Like Jesus did before
If I knew all the answers
To keep you comin' back, for more
If I could paint a picture
And then cut off my own ear
If I chose all the right colors
Would this just, disappear
Because, we run in vicious circles
Until we're we're dizzy with disdain
And there's there's miles and miles between us
And yet we still remain
If I could write a poem
And find the perfect words
And then put them all to music
Just so my voice gets heard
Because, we run in vicious circles
Until we're we're dizzy with disdain
And there's there's miles and miles between us
And yet we still remain
So if I could walk on water
Like Jesus did before
And if I knew all the answers
I'd keep you comin' back, for more
Because, we run in vicious circles
Until we're we're dizzy with disdain
And there's there's miles and miles between us
And yet we still remain
We run in vicious circles
Until we're we're dizzy with disdain
And there's miles and miles between us
And yet we still remain
And yet we still remain
Country Boy lyrics - Aaron Lewis (feat. Charlie Daniels, Chris Young & George Jones)
Now I grew up down an old dirt road, in a town you wouldn't know
My pops picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks, back in nineteen sixty-four
My grandfather was a drinker, back in the day he'd put 'em down
But a war is known to change a man, and the whiskey's known to change a man
But, that's not me
I rarely drink from the bottle, but I'll smoke a little weed
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go, in a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
And a country boy, is all I'll ever be
Now it's been twelve years since I sold my soul, to the devil in L.A
He said sign your name here on the dotted line, and your songs they all will play
He set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the Marquee
He said, "You wanna sell a million records, boy? You better listen to me"
He said, "Change your style, whiten your smile
You could lose a couple pounds
If you want to live this life, you'd better lose that wife
Do you need your friends around?"
I said, "no that's not me"
'Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts, and a couple extra pounds never really hurt
'Cause a country boy, is all I'll ever be
'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
You'll never catch me out the house without my nine or fourty-five
I've got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck, and my idea of heaven's chasin' white tail bucks
And as a country boy, I know I can survive
Now two flags fly above my land, and really sum up how I feel
One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blue
The other one's got a rattlesnake, with a simple statement made
"Don't tread on me" is what it says, and I'll take that to my grave
Because, this is me
I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
And I've said it before, but I'll say it again, 'cause I've never needed government to hold my hand
And I've said it before, but I'll say it again, 'cause my family's always fought and died to save this land
And a country boy, is all I'll ever be
I love my country, I love my guns, I love my family, I love the way it is now
And anybody that tries to change it, has to come through me
That should be all of our attitudes, 'cause this is America, and a country boy is good enough for me, son
Tangled Up In You lyrics - Aaron Lewis (feat. Alexa Carter)
You're my world, the shelter from the rain
You're the pills, that take away my pain
You're the light, that helps me find my way
You're the words, when I have nothing to say
In this world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you
You're the fire, that warms me when I'm cold
You're the hand I have to hold as I grow old
You're the shore, when I am lost at the sea
You're the only thing that I like about me
And in this world where nothing else is true
Here I am still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
How long has it been, since this storyline began
And I hope it never ends, and goes like this forever
In this world where nothing else is true
Here I am, still tangled up in you
Tangled up in you
(I'm still tangled up in you)
I'm still tangled up in you
(I'm still tangled up in you)
Massachusetts lyrics - Aaron Lewis
I sit here on the stairs and listen to
The night time as the daylight fades away
It's such a haunting and familiar tune
When I hear it in the distance I can say
That I'm home, in Massachusetts
Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
All alone, but the truth is
It's where I always am, it's where I long to be
Because I'm home
The North Shore is where my father lives
I wear my Red Sox hat around the world with pride
But the Berkshires are where my heart is
And when I see them in the distance I could cry
Because I'm home, in Massachusetts
Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
All alone, but the truth is
It's where I always am, it's where I long to be
Nyla started pre-school, and Indie just turned two
And Zoe's just the perfect mix of me and you
They keep getting older, and time keeps going by
To think about it makes your daddy wanna cry
So I just passed the sign that welcomes me to Worthington
Established long before this country came to be
A place that hasn't really changed with time
The way this country that I love, it used to be
Because I'm home, in Massachusetts
Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
All alone, but the truth is
It's where I always am, it's where I long to be
Because I'm home, in Massachusetts
Where my hero teaches classes everyday
Where my friends, don't treat me different
It's where my family is, it's where I'll always stay
Because I'm home
Am I The Only One (Clean Version) lyrics - Aaron Lewis
Am I the only one here tonight
Shakin' my head and thinkin' somethin' ain't right?
Is it just me? Am I losin' my mind?
Am I standin' on the edge of the end of time?
Am I the only one-tell me I'm not-
Who thinks they're takin' all the good we got
And turnin' it bad? Hell, I'll be damned
I think I'm turnin' into my old man
Am I the only one willin' to bleed
Or take a bullet for bein' free
Screamin' "What the Hell!" at my TV
For tellin' me? Yeah you're tellin' me
That I'm the only one willin' to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue burnin' on the ground?
Another statue's comin' down in a town near you
Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone
Am I the only one not brainwashed
Makin' my way through the land of the lost
Who sees it as it is and worries 'bout his kids
As they try to undo all the things he did?
Am I the only one who can't take no more
Screamin' "If you don't like it there's the freakin' door! "?
This ain't the freedom we've been fightin' for
It was somethin' more, yeah, it was somethin' more
Am I the only one willin' to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue burnin' on the ground?
Another statue's comin' down in a town near you
Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone
I'm not the only one
I can't be the only one
Am I the only one who quits singin' along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?
Am I the only one sittin' here
Still holdin' on, holdin' back my tears
For the ones who paid with the lives they gave?
God bless the U.S.A.
I'm not the only one willin' to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue burnin' on the ground
Another statue comin' down in a town near you
Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone
I'm not the only one
I can't be the only one
Black lyrics - Aaron Lewis
(originally by Pearl Jam)
Shades of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oh... and all I taught her was everything
Oh... I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I swear
Oh... and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be... yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine
Folded Flag lyrics - Aaron Lewis
When I'd seen you
You were shinin' like a diamond in that dress
We were young, in love and reckless
We were just two kids
When I went and signed my name
Now here I am
Just a few months later comin' home to you
I'm flyin' with my brothers yeah we fought real hard
We're all packed up and headed home
And if you're readin' this there'll come a time real soon
When family, friends and flowers fill the room
And two men with starch white gloves
Fold the colors 'til they touch
It's probably more than I deserve
But I'm proud to get this much
Sendin' all the love I ever had
Inside this folded flag
Now look at you
You're roundin' out but babe you wear it well
A little boy or girl it's still too soon to tell
Wish I could be there now to hold you both
And if you are readin' this you're probably 'bout to cry
Runnin' through your head the questions why
As two men with starch white gloves
Fold the colors 'til they touch
It's probably more than I deserve
But I'm proud to get this much
Sendin' all the love I ever had
Inside this folded flag
And it'll sit here on the mantle
For many years to come
And every time you pass it by
I hope you feel my love
Two men with starch white gloves
Fold the colors 'til they touch
It's probably more than I deserve
But I'm proud to get this much
I'm sendin' all the love I ever had
Inside this folded flag
Sendin' all the love I ever had
Inside this folded flag
No Little Girl lyrics - Aaron Lewis
(performed by J-CAT)
Last night I saw her face
It made me lose my place, it did
It made me wonder
How did I fumble into space
Can't eat a thing at all
My appetite is way to small, it is
Except for big brown bags
I really love that alcohol
No little girl,
That your kiss ain't what I'm missing
But your loving me,
Loving me, yeah
No little girl,
That your kiss is what I'm missing
And you're twisting me,
Twisting me yeah
No little girl
That your voice wakes me at night
Always pushing me away
Always trying to start a fight
Uh, break it down
The pain washes across me
The things that I thought we'd see, yeah
The pain washes across me
But now we're both strong and free, baby!
Last night we danced real close
That's when she feels the most, it is
Her pace is much to fast
How do I look inside my soul
No little girl
That your kiss ain't what I'm missing
But your loving me,
Loving me, yeah
No little girl
That your kiss is what I'm missing
And you're twisting me,
Twisting me, yeah
No little girl
That your voice wakes me at night
Always pushing me away
Always trying to start a fight
What Hurts The Most lyrics - Aaron Lewis
(originally by Rascal Flatts)
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that is not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder, getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that is not what gets me

And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
